Hey Stev… saw your comment on the 31DBBB Day 2 post and you had me at Vulcan. Even though I don’t know what WotC is, I like your list. I’m a WoW player myself, so I think I get the gist of what you are sayin’.

The real reason I’m commenting is to say “thanks man” for getting the Star Trekkin’ song stuck in my head. It’s so infectious!

Live Long and Prosper!

Hmmm… sorry to comment again but I just realised that I hadn’t linked my blog in comments yet. Yours is my first WP comment. :)

I think all those theories are valid, especially the low intelligence roll, that made me laugh. Unfortunately Wizards is forgetting all about those who have been with them for years and trying to focus on getting new blood with 4e. This leaves no room for gamers who love their thac0 and want to continue their AD&D collection.

12. Chris Pramas (head honcho of Green Ronin) is secretly mind-controlling the Leaders of Hasbro into driving their company into the ground, thus guaranteeing Wizards & Warlocks takes over the world. He can do that.

13. Scott Rouse (AKA “The Godfather of Nice”) made RPGNow an offer they couldn’t refuse. And they refused.

14. The gnomes made them do it.

15. 5th Edition is coming, so you don’t need 4e any more, right?

16. Using torrents is so much easier than buying things. They’re just making it easier for the customer by removing the difficult option. Talk about customer service!

17. They’ve lost all of their own PDF copies but daren’t tell anyone.

18. “Torrent? I thought you said to rent! Yeh, we can rent D&D to you. Just sign here.”

19. Look on the bright side. No more pdfs mean no more need to add the errata to pdfs! Brilliant!

As many readers may have figured out from my few posts last year, I've moved to Garland, TX and have gathered a new group of old school players. Unfortunately, instead of the large group of players I've had for the past five years, I'm limited to four players due to space-to-play limitations. We've... [...]

Been a really busy day today at work so I'll make this one short. DriveThruRPG is having their annual GMs Week sales. This is always a great time to pick up that game or book you have been wanting but also wanted a sale to do it. Still working through all my books too. Picked up the audio... [...]

..or rather, it can be. Anything can be a role-playing game if you are willing to forgo the game mechanics and let role-playing trump the game. The famous John Wick wrote an article somewhat recently about how many rpg games, specifically early D&D, are not role-playing games. There have been a... [...]
